As the title says, want CS's opinion on what colour to refurb my wheels, theres only a couple of marks on them now but I want a fresh powdercoating after winter.

I've come to three options; Anthracite, white or silver.

This is how it is now







Anthracite







Anyone got pics of flame red gsi on silver speedlines?

Lol, yep.. And hmmm cant decide glad I've got a while to make my mind up

Also think I'd have to go lower to pull off 40's, and im happy with the height its at now, looks OK and its practical.

I certainly will dude,i'll be getting plenty.

I reckon irmy skirts will look awesome as we don't see many on B's. German rears will suit it on rear and anthra wheels 100%. Tyre profile's upto you,look good either way.
